What if the struggle isn't life... but resisting your own guidance?
Not everything true can be explained. Inner guidance rarely comes with bullet points. In the blog, I share how to recognize your own inner language and how to build trust with it — even if you’re used to living from your head.
Our biggest gift
We all have this gift of guiding ourselves. Only it will not look the same. It can be a feeling, sensation or thought. I nearly hear you say, thought? Yes, a thought…
If you do not have a direct connection with your body, you can use a thought that feels completely random. Something that doesn’t give you anxiety or fear. It just is there and may inspire you to do or don’t do something.
Your bodily sensations could help you, like a knot in your stomach or this little whisper, goosebumps.
Head and heart conflict
This quote shows us we often fight what we are feeling. If we are in this conflict often doubt will come creeping in getting us stuck. Your body may even be giving weird symptoms or health issues as little warnings. Too bad we often don’t understand our body signs and ignore them (they will get louder!).
If we just for a second assume the soul lives in the area of the heart and actually knows where you want to go. Every time you make a different decision with your head, you defy your soul. You may be even going through a tougher life situation than was really necessary.
Inner guidance can come in the form of intuition or instinct. Those both reside in our bodies and look a lot like each other. I believe the biggest difference is the need for survival. Instinct is there to keep us safe, intuition is much more silent and doesn’t care if your nervous system gets out of whack with this new path it’s suggesting.
Inner guidance is not here to be understood, just followed. If you use your mind to find logic in the messaging, you will not find it.
This limiting belief
Know if you make a decision based on inner guidance you often can’t explain to others why you made that choice.
I long believed: if I can’t explain, it isn’t right. That belief made my life a living hell. I kept on choosing with my head and making decisions far from my own inner truth. I still struggle with following these whispers, but I stopped fighting them. Now if I struggle to follow I at least will envision what they would mean in my life. I will build the courage and feelings to this whisper, to maybe one day follow through on it.
It is not as easy and fast as just doing it, but if you are not used to following inner guidance it is a nice, safe way to be able to do so. After every whisper you follow you will find a life that is more you. When you do this often enough you will be able to follow through quicker because you trust this “voice”.
